Chapter 410: Chapter 410: This Son Is Just a Disaster
"Even if we're just sponging off someone, we can't make it too obvious!" City folks look down on country people the most. Although she was going to her own son's home to sponge off of him, those neighbors had nothing better to do than gossip about her!
Therefore, in order to wring more out of that deadbeat son, she had to make a big show of it.
So that no one could criticize her.
"So, according to what you're saying, Mother, what should we do when we get there?"
Meng Xingping didn't think sponging off his own brother was something to be ashamed of, but he always listened to his mother. Hence, whatever his mother said, he would do without hesitation.
"First off, we need to show real affection. It would be best if we burst into tears at the sight of my son and his wife and kids, blubbering about how much we've missed them. We must keep saying it, but we mustn't complain, don't say anything about how we can't make ends meet at home, or how you and your second brother and the other brothers below you can't find wives!"
Wang Guilan mulled over her plan as she instructed her son.
Meng Xingping rambled on, and Wang Guilan listened with great satisfaction. She slapped her thigh and laughed, "Yes, just cry and howl like that. Make sure to remember what you just said to me, because when you see your Luo Family elder brother, you must cry and howl exactly like that for your mother!"
How touching it would be! She simply didn't believe that, with such a humble display from them, that good-for-nothing son wouldn't become soft-hearted. And what nasty things could his neighbors say about them in such a state?
She was just an old woman whose eyesight was nearly gone, who had finally found her son and now only wanted to visit him—what ill intentions could she possibly have?
Wang Guilan's eyes were full of schemes. She said, "And make sure to have a good talk with your second brother, so he doesn't slip up with his stupidity. And remember, you must talk about how your mother's eyes are nearly blind from crying all these years looking for that boy!"
Meng Xingping: "But Mother, your eyes are fine!"
"Unless I'm made out to be pitiful, that good-for-nothing son won't care about us. Wang Guilan hadn't forgotten the terrible things she'd done in the past. If the good-for-nothing son held a grudge, they might not just be denied sponging off of her, but it was also possible they would be chased away with a stick.
"And don't you forget, when we're in front of Luo Family elder brother, don't call him that good-for-nothing anymore."
If we're already sponging off someone at their front door, being disrespectful won't endear us to anyone, let alone get favors from them.
